Bitcoin Should Be in Every Portfolio, Says Mexico’s Third Richest Man

Published on: 22.06.2021

Ricardo Salinas Pliego, the third richest man in Mexico, believes that Bitcoin is an excellent investment and should be in every investment portfolio.

During an interview with the director of Blockchain Land, José Rodríguez, Ricardo Salinas Pliego assured that Bitcoin is as solid an investment as gold. He explained that the debate about its nature is not so crucial for those who know its properties.

There Will Be Only 21 Million Bitcoins, And That Is Key to Everything

Ricardo Salinas argues that the fact that Bitcoin is finite, easy to transport, and enjoys extreme liquidity internationally are compelling reasons to consider it an asset worth taking into account when building an investment portfolio.

In fact, Salinas explains that from his point of view, every investor should own Bitcoin:

Bitcoin is an asset that has international value, which is traded with enormous liquidity worldwide. For that reason, it should be in any portfolio.

Ricardo Salinas is a vocal Bitcoiner. He was one of the first prominent Latin American businessmen to talk about the cryptocurrency and support it on social networks. He also revealed that 10% of his liquid investment portfolio was held in BTC, which is obviously no small thing considering his fortune.
